Unfortunately there is neither oem nor aftermarket replacement for the early model 4X pto shaft universal joints (04371-60020, spider)!
Many of us struggle to get these spiders replaced with the late model spider and add a 5mm washer under the retaining clip to balance the size difference.
The actual cross centre of the old spider is always comes out in serviceable condition but due to the lack of spare part cups these spiders rarely changed.
I would like to solve this problem for many of us by re-making the key part 37431-60010 cup of the uni joint so whoever has this spider in the pto drive shaft can remove and reassemble it with new bronze cups and new rubber O-rings.
I would like to get these cups machined to oem quality.
I have a genuine nos spider 04371-60020 (see photos) so I can get my machinist the bronze cups copied.
A two shaft driveline would have 3 joints to rebuild. Front, middle and rear.
Please register your interest so I can estimate the manufacturing volume and update the final price for a rebuild kit.
A rebuild kit will include 4 cups (37431-60010) and 4 O-rings. (96710-02010). The centre cross member need to be salvaged.
I would like to keep the kit under $50 plus shipping. Final price and delivery terms will be confirmed prior to order.
Hope this will help many.
Respectfully,
Andrew
